Places that could become a Unesco world heritage site

The list of places and sites eligible to become UNESCO World Heritage Sites is constantly being updated.

Nominations, each year, are numerous, and it often takes a long time before a place can be officially declared a world heritage site. The process to be followed is outlined step by step by UNESCO itself.

This procedure was adopted in 1972 and has set itself the goal of identifying and maintaining the list of sites that represent special features of exceptional importance from a cultural or natural point of view and that must therefore be preserved with great care and attention.
